There are two types of articles in English: defined and uncertain. Uncertain article is a. or aN. (if the word, in front of which it costs, begins with a vowel letter). He takes his beginning from the word one. (one) and used before the names of the noun only number, while they must be calculated. Items that are used in which this type of article is used, uncertain by context and are unknown by the speaker and listener. In other words, this article means "some kind of", "one of the set". English articles already out of the name it is clear that a certain article their The opposite is uncertain. Their happened from the word tHIS (this). It can be used with nouns both the only number and multiple number, both with calculated and C are not credentials. The noun, in front of which a specific article is, is usually well known or understandable from the context to the listener. Their So - this one is.

You will mistakenly think that if not suitable a.(aN.), then you can safely use the opposite type. However, it is not. In English, there are such cases when the article is not needed at all. Its absence in front of nouvenons is customary to be called the use of zero articles. Thus, it turns out that there are special rules for using each of the three types in English.
Today we will define only those moments when we need a certain article before the names of rivers, oceans, lakes, countries, cities, etc.

Some countries, areas still need this "non-permanent" word of their three letters. You can download the list of exceptions that are not so much to our overall joy.
Good luck!

Cognitive video.

Greetings, my wonderful readers.

Eh, today we are waiting for us, probably "the most beloved" theme of any schoolboy is articles with geographic names in English. Oh, how shrewd!

In fact, in my practice, there was probably not a single student who would be crazy about these very. And not even because the topic is complex, or grade 5 students - or even grade 6 - cannot mask it. And all because for Russian-speaking generally difficult, the concept is that before the noun should be some definitions.

But today we will get rid of all your fears and close all the dark corners of your knowledge. We are waiting for rules, a complete table with examples and a lot of interest.

I want to give you a simple option, how to remember the use of articles with the names of geographic locations. Just follow the examples in the table and remember. And then go to practice - I mean and.

Rule	Example
When the article is used:
Names: Parts of light: The South; The North. .	Norway is Situated to the North of Denmark.
Rivers: The Mississippi; The Nile; The dnepr; The don.	The Nile Is The Biggest River in Africa. The Volga Leads to the Caspian Sea.

Islands and state groups: The Comoro Islands; The Canaries; The USA.	Her Dream Was To Have a Wedding On the Canaries. The Philippines Was The First Country The Visited for the Vacation.
Peninsula and Capes: The Indochinese Peninsula; The Cape of Good Hope. BUT: Cape Chelyuskin.	To the North of the Cape of Good Hope Is the Antarctica.
Mountain chains: The Andes; The Urals.	The Urals Divide Russia INTO EUROPEAN AND ASIAN PARTS. The Cordilleras Are The Longest Mountain Chain in the World.
Desert: The Gobi Desert; The Sahara Desert.	The Sahara Desert Is Known AS The Biggest Desert On The Planet. The NEXT One Is The Gobi Desert.
Oceanov: The Atlantic Ocean; The Pacific Ocean; The Indian Ocean.	On Her Wall to Australia She Crossed the Pacific Ocean. The Indian Ocean Attracted ME MOST WHEN WAS MAKING UP MY MIND WHERE TO GO.
Channels: The Panama Channel.	The Panama Channel Separates South America and North America.
When the article is not used:

Countries: Portugal; SPAIN; Germany. BUT: The argentine; The Netherlands; The hague; The Congo. If there are words in the country name Republic, Kingdom, States - used Article "The": The United Kingdom, The Dominican Republic, The United States.
